​This month I focused on dog portraiture and fall New England harvest season. This is my first dog portrait and landscape. I fell in love with doing this! I need to keep pushing my boundaries of what I can explore with wildlife and animal portraits. I felt a deep connection. I felt emotion and spirit. I enjoy the New England fall weather, being with family, friends and dogs. Animals capture and express feelings that bring out the best of us. The portrait I completed of Louis, my niece;s dog, captures his feeling of loyalty, strength and solitude. Not only do I love dogs, but I also like gourds, flowers and pumpkins! I think gourds are so funky and fun and they should be celebrated, too! They always look cool in a kitchen. I have also speckled this gourd with my rhinestones. You just have to have a little glimmer! God bless everyone. May you have a blessed day. Always add a little color to your day!
